Game Thread: Illinois vs Quincy (Exhibition)

[spillini]

Man I needed this day badly. If Houston wins the WS...and then the Eagles win the SB....I'm turning to a life of crime.

Go Birds

First look......this squad is going to be an absolute blast to watch. They are also going to have some early season bumps in the road I think.

 

[Frank]

I think we’re really gonna like Harris

I appreciate that he's doing his part to help the Illini faithful slowly get over not seeing TF out in #1.

Obviously the emphasis on length is not news, but it's funny to actually see it on the court. Even Epps is bigger than I was expecting.

 

[Idea Gardener]

What I'm noticing and appreciating so far is that everyone is aggressive.

 

[skyIdub]

The most important item so far....CoHawk has lost the yellow and black shoes....

 

[Dbell1981]

That pass by Skyy to Hawkins was nice!

 

[grantlab]

Everyone looks a lot bigger and longer than I expected. Notably TJ and Ty. I think Sencire is gonna find his way onto the court this year.

Haha. FIRSTNAME1 LASTNAME1

Yeah, this looks like a SERIOUS defensive team. I'm impressed with what I've seen so far, although it's obvious they have a ways to go on the offensive end

I'm just listening on the radio so any info on how the team looks is pure gold to me......

Overall we are a very tall team.

 

[LoveLovie]

Rodgers at pg?

 

[RichardKeenesCousin]

I’m supposed to be parenting at the moment. But these updates are way better.

 

[skyIdub]

Luke Goode's absence is very noticeable so far. Shooting might be a problem.

I think (hoping) it’s just nerves.

The talent is there. They are just playing a lil sloppy right now.

 

[illinitiger]

No 3p makes....Plummer heat will be missed!!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Our perimeter defense has been tenacious, though we are overcommitting, which we'll have to get under control against major competition or else we'll allow wide open threes. Defensive rebounds are going to be a major problem this season. I'm not worried about the outside shooting... yet...

Sencire Harris has been very impressive thus far

 

[kyillinifan]

Paid for Big Ten plus got everything set up and no picture. Telling me to sign in. Forget Big Ten plus. Listening on radio.

 

[skyIdub]

I know Mayer and TJS are heralded transfers....but they are going to need some special sauce to make me forget about Plummer and Dre Feliz.

I'm just listening on the radio so any info on how the team looks is pure gold to me......

The offense in the half-court has looked like a bunch of guys that have never played together before. Which, of course, would be expected. The transition offense looks good getting buckets off TOs. Defense switching 5 guys looks like it's going to be a tough matchup for lots of teams this year.

 

[Captain Bubbles]

First time I've posted on here in over a year. Hi to everyone out there!

LIstening to the game on the radio. I like what I'm seeing out of Illinois. They have some things to work out which I expected. Later in the season, this team is going to be hella fun to watch.

 

[Epsilon]

Lieb sighting! Getting ready to check in.

 

[OrangeKrushRush]

Score update?

I’m at dinner and can’t listen in
